The Charm of the Pirate
Sail
Royal Palace, Roseland. April 1500.
Announcement has been completed, everyone has returned to their respective workplaces.
The atmosphere of the day was very busy, all the servants were not silent in one place. They paced around with various kinds of goods on their shoulders and hands. Elie, too, collects some of the clothes Sofia will wear on Pace Island.
Marquess Jasper goes with Queen Ranee to her study. Sofia and Richi decide to take a walk around the kingdom.
"What are we going to Pace Island for?" Sofia suddenly stops walking and Richi almost hits her.
"Well.."
"We're just going for a walk there."
"Don't lie." Sofia looks into Richi's eyes.
Richi scratched his head repeatedly. Actually Sofia does not know anything about their departure to Pace Island tomorrow.
"Say!" Sofia insisted that she wanted to know. He clasped Richi's hand tightly.
"We're getting married."
"What?"
"We're getting married there."
"Married?"
"Married married?" Sofia repeated her question.
"Yes.."
"Me-it-would."
"Married." Richie said it without blinking.
Sofia's knee feels weak. He just fell.
"Sophy!" Richie held him off quickly.
"You okay?" Richie looks very worried. Sofia looked pale. Sweats flowed down his forehead.
"Sophy?" Richi then helps her sit on the park bench.
"Mh.."
"Servant!" Richi yelled at the man who was walking a short distance away from them.
"I, Sir."
"Get me a glass of water."
"Hurry up!"
"I understand." He quickly entered the palace.
"Sophy.."
"Darling.."
"What do you feel?"
"Speak.." Richi rubbed Sofia's wet forehead.
"This, Mister.."
Richi takes a glass of water and helps Sofia drink.
Glug
Glug
Glug
"You can go."
"I understand."
The waiter walked back, then resumed his work.
"Rich.."
"Yes.."
"I'm right here.."
"We're getting married tomorrow?"
"That's the plan, honey."
"You don't like it?"
Sofia frowned her fingers.
"What's wrong?"
"Tell me.." Richi looked at Sofia with a gentle look. He did not want to force anything on his lover.
However, deep down, he felt uneasy. Richi is afraid that Sofia will refuse to marry him tomorrow.
"Why.."
"Why didn't you tell me anything before?" Sofia looked at Richi in confusion.
"I'm.."
"I didn't mean it that way.."
"I didn't know you'd react like this.."
"Just.."
"I was so happy when Grandma gave me the blessing to marry you, Dan.."
"And your father also blesses us, I can't wait, I'd love to marry you soon." Richi squeezes both his hands.
"I understand."
"Let's get married!" Sofia smiles and holds onto Richi's cold hand.
"Huh?" Now the surprised Richi hears Sofia's answer.
"Aren't you angry?"
"I'm just upset."
"You know.."
"Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't know what's going to happen tomorrow."
"Until when are you going to keep it a secret from me?"
"Until we get to Pace." Richi smiled watching his neat rows of teeth.
"Basic You're a criminal!"
"You're happy to see me confused later?"
Richie couldn't help his smile. She laughed and hugged Sofia tightly.
"Don't run away!"
"Don't run!"
"Don't disappear!" Richi looked at Sofia intently.
Sofia just chuckles at Richi's words.
"Don't laugh!"
"I'm serious!"
"Yes, yes."

The happy day had arrived, Everyone was already impatiently leaving for Pace Island. The sun was not seen that morning.
"Good morning, Miss!"
Elie opened the curtain quickly while humming cheerfully. It was still very early in the morning, but she looked very excited to wake Sofia from her deep sleep.
"All..."
"Whispering.."
"Come on, let's get up, miss.." Elie pulls Sofia's blanket with a single pull.
"Return Eliie..."
"Please.."
"It's cold..." Sofia curled back up and pulled the thick, warm blanket back.
"Miss.."
"Everyone is ready."
"Including Her Majesty the Queen.."
Deg
Deg
Deg
Sofia sat up quickly, she tied her hair and immediately drank a glass of water at her bedside table.
Pfft
Elie tried to hold back her laughter from being heard by Sofia.
"All.."
"What should I do first?" Sofia looked at Elie seriously.
"You should take a shower, miss.." Elie widened her eyes.
Brrr
Sofia's fur stands. He was reluctant to lower his feet from his comfortable bed.
Elie is anxious to see her, She helps Sofia stand up and takes her to the bathroom.
"Come.."
"Come.."
Several maidservants had been waiting for Sofia's arrival, they had prepared a warm bath full of various kinds of flowers and fragrant potions.
"Good morning Lady Sofi.." They bow their heads in unison.
"Well.."
"Good morning.."
"Please help.." Sofia smiled sincerely.
The servants looked at each other. They returned Sofia's smile with a nod of their head.
"Of course Lady!"
"Yes!"
"Give it to us!"
Elie smiled happily at all her friends who treated Sofia well.
* * *
Seen someone who is no stranger to stand on the Marine Ship. He waved his hand towards Elie excitedly then called out his name loudly.
"Elie's.."
"Look here.."
Elie feels uncomfortable, She hides her face behind Sofia's back.
"Why hide?" Sofia glanced at Elie who looked timid.
"It's okay, Miss."
"Let me be like this for a while."
Sofia raised both eyebrows.
"Yes.."
"Just whatever.."
The Royal Ship was already in full sight, they were rising overhead one by one.
Her Majesty the Queen boarded a different ship, a ship that was quite small and only contained 10-12 people.
"Dad.."
"Why didn't Queen Ranee go with Richi?" Sofia is waiting for her father's answer.
"It would be dangerous if the successor to the throne were one ship with the Queen."
"Mr Richi's on a Marine Ship."
"I don't really understand.."
"To minimize unexpected events." Marquess Jasper smiled, then rubbed her daughter's head gently.
"Hmmm.."
"So much as you.."
"When you have a child, you're not allowed one ship with your Son, you'll board a different ship."
"Geez.."
"I understand enough.."
"But.."
"Will it not feel lonely?"
"Of course.."
"But there are rules."
"Well.."
"Let's ride.."
"Which church?"
"Our ships.." Marquess Jasper pointed to a large ship of considerable size in white with a sky-blue screen.
"Dad bought it?"
"That's the boat your father and mother used."
"Really?"
"Yes.."
"Let's ride.."
Sofia climbed up slowly, Marquess Jasper helped her not to fall into the water.
"Wear this, baby.." Jasper gives Sofia a thick coat.
"Thank you, Dad.."
"Get in the cabin, rest.."
"I'll wait for Elie first.."
"Well.."
"All right.." Marquess Jasper walked towards the steering room.
Elie quickly caught up with Sofia who had already boarded. He ran and almost fell down because he stepped on a puddle of water.
"Argh.."
"Be careful, Miss.." The voice that Elie was very familiar with. The man restrained Elie's back from falling over.
"Thank you, Captain.." Elie stood up and lowered her face.
He felt so embarrassed, wanting to disappear from there for a moment.
"Are you okay?"
"Thanks to you.."
"Thank you.."
"Thank God then."
"Let me help you get on board."
"Yes.."
Captain Clark helps Elie get on the boat, worried about seeing Elie who looks rushed and almost fell.
"Send my regards to Lady Sofia, Miss.."
"Sure Captain.."
"I'll tell you.."
"All right, good-bye.."
"See you later in Pace.."
"Bye bye.."
Elie returned the wave of Captain Clark's hand that went further and further.
"Yyyyyyyyyyy.."
"Am I not supposed to see this romantic scene?" Sofia pretended to close her eyes.
"Miss.." Elie covered her flushed face.
"Is that a coincidence?" Sofia was delighted to tease her faithful servant.
"No, Miss.."
"I'm really going to be.."
"I know, I know.." Sofia patted Elie's back quite hard.
"You're embarrassing me, Miss.."
Sofia just laughed at Elie's misguided behavior.
"Well.."
"Where's the Cabin?" Sofia stopped laughing then looked at Elie with a serious look on her face.
"At the end of the hall on the right, Miss.."
"Yesterday I cleaned it.."
"Have you been here?"
"Yes.."
"Master told me to clean your cabin, Miss."
"Hmmm.."
"Let's go there.."
Elie walks first so Sofia doesn't get lost.
THE HORN!
The cabin door opens. Sofia was immediately treated to a very amazing sight.
"It's..."
"This dress will be worn by you at the wedding, Miss." Elie smiles and leaves Sofia alone in her cabin.
"Mother's Dress.." Sofia Murmured.
A worn-out maroon-colored envelope is seen tucked between the flowers that adorn the neck of the dress.
Sofia picked it up, then flipped through and then opened it.
'Dear Sofia's..'
'Do you like it?'
'Whether you like it or not, you have to use it!'
Tears began to pool in her eyes. She had no idea she was going to get this amazing surprise on her wedding day.
'Mom doesn't know the size will fit or be small.'
'But you're obliged to use it.'
'This is the wedding dress I used when I married your father.'
'Be happy!'
'You deserve it.'
'Mother loves you.'
Your mother, Rossie.
Now He could not stop his tears from flowing like the Thames. Her taste made her happy and impatient to use it.
Ivory A-line dress with strap-strap details on the back. Dresses are simple but will make it look stunning. Elie has adjusted the size for Sofia.
Brakes.
Brucks.
Dukkp.
From the outside sounded a quite loud frenzy. His father's voice sounded very clear even from inside the cabin.
"Develop screen!" Marquess Jasper gave orders to the crew.
Not long after that the ship felt moving and began to swing.
A familiar feeling that Sofia was very familiar with. He remembered how he had first set foot on the ship.
A really unpleasant feeling.
Sofia sat on the bed, She held the pole tightly and began to close her eyes, hoping that her nausea and seasickness would not last long and soon disappear.
"Develop screen!"
"SAAAP CAPTAIN!!"
